Fees
Students studying part-time courses will be expected to pay tuition fees and any other subsequent fees, for example examination fees. However, part time students who can show that they are receiving a means tested benefit can apply for their fees to be waived. Fee waiver forms are available from the college Finance Office on 0141 566 4125
If your company is paying your course fees, then you should arrange for your company / sponsoring organisation to send written authorisation to the College. We will only send an invoice once authorisation has been received.
Travelling Expenses
Part-time students on FE courses who are in receipt of a means-tested benefit are eligible to claim traveling expenses. However, funding is limited and will be on a “first come first served” basis. Forms are available from the College’s Finance Office.
Hardship Fund
Students may apply to the college for support in covering travel costs and course expenses. Forms and advice available from Student Services.
